前伊朗和美国外交官一致认为，对伊朗的战争在未来几周可能会恶化。
Former Iranian and US diplomats agree that the war on Iran is likely to get worse in the coming weeks.
前伊朗外交官侯赛因·穆萨维安指出，当美国领导人坚称对伊朗的战争关乎核武器而非石油时，伊朗领导人并不相信他们。
When US leaders insist that the war on Iran is about nuclear weapons and not about oil, Iran’s leaders don’t believe them, argues former Iranian diplomat Hossein Mousavian.
穆萨维安和前美国外交官艾伦·艾尔——两人都曾参与之前关于伊朗核计划的谈判——告诉主持人史蒂夫·克莱蒙斯，这场冲突短期内不会走向和平协议，甚至不会出现“永久僵局”。
Mousavian and former US diplomat Alan Eyre – both of whom were involved in previous negotiations on Iran’s nuclear programme – tell host Steve Clemons that the conflict is not heading to a peace deal or even a “permanent stalemate” any time soon.
艾尔认为，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普的政府更倾向于速胜而非外交，“责任在于地区国家承担更多主导作用……获得美国支持，而非美国领导”。
The administration of US President Donald Trump prefers quick wins to diplomacy, argues Eyre, “and the responsibility is on the countries in the region to take more of the lead … with US buy-in, not US leadership”.
